Losi 22 RTR 2wd buggy

Based on the TLR 22 Buggy Kit, the Losi 22 RTR has all of the performance characteristics of its racing cousin but with a few minor differences in materials used and what is included. The Losi 22 RTR is equipped with all the components needed to have fun driving anywhere, or to be raced competitively. It can also be easily upgraded to the TLR 22 standard. The 22 RTR is equipped with the same suspension geometry and durability as the TLR 22 and uses a serious electronics package by using a Losi brushless sensored motor and speed controller that can be raced in competition. This RTR is piloted by Spektrum technology via the DX3E radio and SR300 receiver and to control the steering a Losi extra high torque servo is provided to give the 22 RTR a precise and optimum steering response. The 22 RTR comes built in the rear motor configuration only, but the parts can be purchased to convert the chassis to a mid motor configuration.

Serpent 966 super-light gearbox

Seen at the World Championship back in April, Serpent have released their new new super-light gearbox for the 966. The current Serpent gearbox system has been in use for a very long time, and the Serpent design has become the industry standard, with small revisions only. Stronger engines, research, racing and new insights have fueled the new gearbox design and the goal was to reduce inertia, fluent power transfer and increase reliability even further. The gears have been improved, made lighter, more durable with improved gear mesh. A new aluminium flange which seats the German made one-way bearing is lighter and the bearing is seated more in the inside of the flange for better balance. A new aluminium bell is stiffer and thicker to stand the force of the shoes better and the bearing is in the center to create even forces on the bearing. A new aluminium brake-pulley adapter features 3 steel pins, and also requires a new brake-disk which is also included, and a new mono-type side pulley/pulley-adapter.
